Mr. Duggan has been President and Chief Executive Officer of Detroit Medical Center since January 2004, overseeing eight hospitals and 12,000 employees. Prior to that, Mr. Duggan served as the Wayne County Prosecutor from 2003 to 2011. From 1987 to 2000, Mr. Duggan was Deputy Wayne County Executive, during which period he oversaw ten departments and 6,000 employees with an annual budget of $1.5 billion. In 1995, Mr. Duggan was appointed by Governor John Engler as one of the eleven members of the Governor's Blue Ribbon Commission on Casino Gaming. The Commission recommended that Michigan allow the construction of three new casinos within the City of Detroit, a recommendation that became the basis of the 1996 statewide ballot initiative that authorized the Detroit casinos. Mr. Duggan's substantial management experience, both in the public and private sector, as well as his service on the Governor's Blue Ribbon Committee on Casino Gaming, which gives him a unique insight into the gaming industry as conducted in the City of Detroit, led the Board to conclude that he should serve as director of the Company as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
